In comedies, clock dials are occasionally seen with one or more of the numbers replaced by a non-numerical word or picture telling what will happen on the hour.
A slight variation of this is when a character creates a fictional time based on the actions of one or more other characters.
The name of the trope Otaku O'Clock is an example of this; it refers to the tendency of anime airing late in the night.

Clone High: In "Changes: The Big Prom: The Sex Romp: The Season Finale", Cleo says "Sex O'Clock". She reiterates it just to make sure Abe didn't mishear it as "6 O'Clock".

House: In "Simple Explanation", Kutner does not turn up for work and Taub puts forward an obviously fictitious cover story for him, saying that his dog is sick and he will be there by lunch. At lunchtime, House looks at his watch and says "Look at the time. It's half past Taub-was-lying-about-Kutner."

Half Past Adventure: The fic's title treats the word "adventure" as if it were a dial number on a clock, akin to saying "half past ten". It's a pun on its source material being called Adventure Time.

Harry Potter: The Weasley family has a clock that has nine hands and doesn't tell time at all. It just shows where each of the family members currently are. ("home," "school," "work," "travelling," "lost," "hospital," "prison," and "mortal peril.") After Voldemorts return is made public, every single hand is pointing at "mortal peril" all the time. Molly also has one to tell her to do things like "Time to make tea", "Time to feed the chickens" and "You're running late".

Corner Gas: In "Face Off", Oscar and Emma quickly make a bet that, if Oscar can't start their car so they can get to the hockey game on time, Emma will choke him with an extension cord, but if he can, she has to shut up about it. After a tense situation, Oscar gets the car to start. Emma tells him to go, so he glances at his watch and smugly says "Oh that's right, it's almost... Shut-Up-O'Clock."

Overwatch: A running joke in the fandom is replacing the 12 o'clock position (or every position) with the words "High Noon" when in reference to McCree and his ultimate ability, during which he (rather loudly) announces that it's "High Noon". A similar joke eventually made it into the game, when one of McCree's voice lines to announce his ultimate is: "Oh, you know what time it is".

Dzwiedz 24: The clock on the news ticker says bizarre things like "HIGH NOON", "OUTATIME" (for Destiny 2) and "TOO LATE" (for the Backlog games). When Darksiders gets spun into its own series, the clock says "6:66". In the Far Cry 5 videos, the clock says "MT13:38", a reference to the Gospel of Matthew.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: This◊ clock divides up the day for Panty and Stocking's activities —e.g., fuck, sweets, shower, angel, and shit. It's Colour-Coded for Your Convenience as the former's cues are in pink while the latter's are in purple. It also shows that the girls are not morning people, as "sweets" or "fuck" always follow "sleep."
